ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF WINCHESTER CARTRIDGE
BOXES 1856-1956
by Ray T. Giles & Daniel L. Shuey
Covering the 100 years that Winchester an
its predecessor companies, volcanic Repeating Arms Co., and New
Haven Arms Co., produced cartridges in New Haven, this is the
first detailed study ever done on cartridge boxes from the era
of the modern gun. Coverage includes all the calibers cataloged
for every rifle model from 1856 to 1956. Drawing on never before
seen company records and correspondence, as well as interviews
with oldtime employees, the authors have unearthed a wealth of
new and significant information on this under-researched, fast
growing aspect of gun-related collectibles. With over 1,400 pictures,
all in FULL COLOR, this book also includes a Pricing Guide
and a Rarity Guide. It is unlikely that the incredible
number of varieties of Winchester cartridge boxes pictured will
ever again be assembled for presentation to the collecting public.
Whether you want to date your collectible box or determine which
box would be approprariate as a contemporary display piece with
your Winchester rifle, this is the book to own.
Hardcover, 9"x11.5", over 1400 FULL
COLOR photos, 312 pages, $69.95 plus s/h.
